discount of 20% on it. Find its selling price.​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The selling price of the water cooler is 1080

Given :-

• The marked price of a water cooler is 5,400.
• There's a 20% discount on it.

To find :-

• The selling price of the water cooler.

Step-by-step explanation :-

Cost price of the water cooler = 5,400.

Discount = 20%.

Profit and Loss are both calculated on the cost price.

Therefore, to find the selling price of the water cooler, we have to find out how much is 20% of 5,400.

Lets proceed!

$\sf20\% \: of \: 5400$

Converting 20% into fraction,

$\sf \dfrac{20}{1 \not0 \not0} \: of \: 54 \not0 \not0$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\sf \dfrac{20}{1} \: of \: 54$

$\sf\dfrac{20}{1}$ can also be written as 20.

So let's multiply the remaining numbers.

$\sf20 \times 54$

On multiplying, we get :-

$\sf1080.$

So, the selling price of the water cooler is 1080 after a discount of 20%.
